TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
A University Within a School in Partnership with the
University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center

Through the Teacher Education Program, intern teachers at Boulder Journey School study and engage in discussions surrounding educational literature, classic and contemporary issues in education and current research.
